Henrique, my brother, passed away on 3 September after a short illness. He was 81 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 15 September. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Henrique to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank. Where the $800 goes: • Transport of the deceased: $175 • Memorial gathering for the family: $110 • Funeral home services and casket: $515 Thanks for reading all this. - Joaquim

      So sorry you're going through this, Joaquim. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
